I finished the Kilika Woods mission in FFX-2. It was pretty straightforward, same as in the first game. There were a few checkpoints where you could give a password to avoid a fight and get an item. But when you mess up, you just have to fight a pretty easy battle, and lose the item. At the end, there was a boss fight. It might have been pretty tough if my jobs were different. I had Yuna and Paine as Gunners, using the special attack of that class (hit R1 repeatedly for lots of hits). But more importantly, Rikku as a Black Mage used Firaga a couple times (did 700+ HP damage... VERY good). The boss hit hard, but the fire magic did it in pretty quickly.

This was the end of Chapter 1, and the important sphere is a movie of a person that appears to be Tidus (who should not be alive). I already know how this will turn out, but not all the details.

Playing this really makes me want to play through the original FFX again. So I think I may do that sometime soon. Once I finish a few more of the newer games, anyway.
